Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for instructing the processing and editing of original data obtained by data retrieval using an online terminal, and particularly to simplifying the instruction operation of the terminal.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, this type of instruction method has been: ■ A method in which variable names are given to the source data and instructions are given using variables on a separate instruction screen, and ■ Instruction columns created for specific purposes such as processing and editing. A method is used in which the row number and column number of the target data on the screen where the source data exists is indicated on the screen.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In method (2), you set an arbitrary variable name in the row or column you want to process or edit while looking at the source data, the operator memorizes this variable name, and after switching to the instruction screen,
It is common to specify this variable name in the form of a mathematical expression or command. However, this method requires the oirator to remember variable names, so it is difficult to use when using a large number of variables or giving complex instructions.

- If instructions are given many times in a row using a previously set variable name, there may be errors in operation or the procedure may have to be returned from the instruction screen to the variable name setting screen to confirm the variable name. Because of this, it is not possible to provide accurate instructions and efficient rations.

On the other hand, in method (■) above, remember the row number and column number of the data to be processed on the screen that displays the original data, and after switching to the instruction screen, convert this row number and column number into a mathematical formula. A method of giving instructions in the form of commands or commands is used. Even in this method, accurate and efficient operations cannot be performed because it relies on the operator's memory and requires going back and forth on the screen for confirmation.

[Means to solve the problem]

The processing/editing instruction method according to the present invention includes a source data display section that expands searched data into a two-dimensional table format and stores it in a terminal display data buffer, and a source data display section that receives various instructions from a terminal input device. In addition to adding necessary processing to the data buffer for terminal display, when similar instructions are input in succession, the contents of the previous instruction are partially reused.

In order to reduce the effort of inputting into the oscillator, the process of storing recently processed instruction contents in the instruction buffer.
The editing instruction processing unit and the original data in the data buffer are displayed in a two-dimensional table format on the terminal display device, and when there is a large amount of data that cannot be displayed on one screen, it is positioned at arbitrary data according to the instructions of the operator. When the fourth controller performs an operation that instructs processing, etc., a screen for inputting instructions is displayed superimposed on a part of the screen displaying the original data.

It has a screen compositing display section that allows you to position the data to be indicated while inputting instructions.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. 1
is a source data display section, 2 is a data buffer, 3 is a screen composition display section, 4 is a processing/editing instruction processing section, 5 is an instruction buffer, 6 is a database, 7 is a terminal display device, and 8 is a terminal input device. .

FIG. 2 illustrates the flow of screens when processing/editing instructions are given. While the search results are displayed, if you press the key to request various instructions such as graph drawing, 76 lint output, command processing such as four arithmetic operations and composition ratio calculations, etc. In case 2, input can be made without looking at the target data to be plotted. rod,
Broken line.

If you select a graph type such as a circle, it will be more efficient to give instructions later on the composite screen.
After inputting unique information (step S5), a composite screen of original data and instructions is displayed. 1 When inputting unique information is not required, such as when instructing to move two screens, for example, a composite screen of original data and instructions is directly displayed. do. When processing/editing instructions are given on the composite screen (Stella FS7), if the instruction is to draw a graph, the graph is displayed, and if the drawing content is satisfactory, 2.
The processing/editing result screen is displayed without any changes to the original r-value. When you are dissatisfied with the drawing contents 2 For example, if two drawing items are added or changed, you will have to return to the composition screen again and change the instructions slightly. Generally, if you want to re-enter.

2. Most of the input contents from the previous time can be reused.
The contents of the previous instruction are displayed in the instruction column on the composite screen to reduce operational effort. If the instruction from the composite screen is an instruction for calculation, etc., a processing/editing result screen containing the result value generated by calculation, etc. in addition to the binary original data is displayed. When continuing to perform other processing, including newly generated data, the process can be continued by pressing the instruction request key again. Also, when instructing to move two screens.

For example, in the case where the screen for displaying the original data is to be scrolled on the graph drawing instruction composite screen, three types of screens, the original data screen, the graph drawing instruction screen, and the one screen advance instruction screen, are displayed in a superimposed manner.

Position and display the original data that is the target of drawing instructions.

FIG. 3 shows a common screen format for the original data display screen that displays search results and the screen that displays processed results.

Figure 4 is an example of a screen during a graph drawing instruction in the format of a composite screen of original data and instructions, where the necessary instructions for drawing are given while looking at the instruction target data, and two more data to be plotted are specified. This shows that it is possible to send a data screen to an arbitrary position by combining single-screen feed instructions when the data does not exist on the screen. At this time, even if the two-screen feed ends, the drawing instructions input so far are retained on the screen, and the data to be drawn can be found on the screen after the one-screen feed ends, and the drawing instructions input so far can be saved. Additional instructions can be given. Also, when inputting instructions, should data be specified by row number or by two column numbers?

It also improves operability by displaying an operation guide such as the maximum number of items that can be specified.

It has an instruction key that simply returns the screen to the previous screen, and when this key is pressed, various input instruction contents on the previous screen are restored, reducing the effort of redoing the fourth ration. There is.

〔Effect of the invention〕

In the present invention, while viewing the searched original data on the screen, a processing/editing instruction screen is synthesized and displayed on a part of this screen at the same time, and the operator can directly give instructions without relying on his/her memory.
- When partially modifying instructions for machining, etc. that have already been entered, or when giving instructions for similar machining, etc., it is important to reuse the previous contents and check the accuracy of the instructions. This has the effect of improving the fourth ration efficiency.
